The Insecurity of Network Printers - A GovTech Webcast

According to a recent survey by the Ponemon Institute, network attached printers are an often overlooked area of IT security. In fact, 62% of the survey respondents indicated they are pessimistic about their ability to prevent the loss of data contained in printer mass storage and/or printed hardcopy documents.

Join Government Technology magazine, the Ponemon Institute and HP Inc. to hear more about this study and recommendations that will help you lower the risks associated with printers and printed materials in your organization. Topics will include:
•Detailed Results of the Study
•Best Practice Recommendations for Improving Printer Security and Compliance
•Examples of Security Breaches of Printed Materials and Strategies to Mitigate this Risk

This session is moderated by Mr. Harold Tuck, Senior Fellow, Government Technology.

Cybercrime, internal breaches, compliance infringement and more can hurt your business. In addition to expensive fines and lawsuits, a security breach can result in a damaged reputation and loss of revenue.

Due to the growing sophistication and perseverance of cybercriminals, network firewalls are proving to be insufficient security measures. Organizations need to fortify their endpoints behind the firewall, including network printers. But print security can be complicated. Enterprise-level multifunction printers (MFPs) have more than 250 security settings. Keeping devices, data, and documents secure across the fleet requires specialized knowledge and can be time-consuming.

Let HP Secure Managed Print Services (MPS) manage security so you can focus on your core business. You can count on HP MPS to help assess your risks, secure and manage your fleet, maintain printer security compliance, and keep everything up to date with the latest protections.

Company secrets. Employee identities. Financial data. They’re all at risk when The Wolf is on the prowl for a vulnerable network. Watch the film and see how a hacker, portrayed by Christian Slater, exploits unsecured printers and PCs and takes down companies.

The Wolf is on the prowl, breaking through network security, devouring data.

Find out how you can protect yourself from predators by securing printing.

Your first layer of defense: printers with built-in protection.

The moment an attack starts, HP printers detect it, stop it, and self-heal. All without IT intervention. HP enterprise printers—it’s the powerful security that every office needs.

What you need to get HP secure:

With over 60% of companies reporting a print-related data breach in the past year, it’s time to invest in complete security and defend your devices, data, and documents. Get the help you need with fundamental and advanced security offerings from HP.

The Fixer (Jonathan Banks) is here to put The Wolf on a leash with an HP Enterprise printer featuring Run-Time Intrusion Detection that is constantly protecting against malware attacks.

HP Run-Time Intrusion Detection:

- Monitors complex firmware and memory operations, automatically stops the intrusion and reboots in the event of an attack
- Protects HP business printers from becoming an entry point for attacks on your network
- Offers the only real-time detection, automated monitoring, and built-in software validation to stop threats the moment they start

Armed with an HP Enterprise printer featuring HP Sure Start self-healing BIOS protection, The Fixer (Jonathan Banks) is going to make sure The Wolf never leaves a scratch on this place again.

HP Sure Start:

- Protects against malware by detecting, stopping, and self-healing from BIOS attacks
- Prevents the execution of malicious code during bootup by allowing only HP-signed, genuine code to be loaded
- Restarts with a safe “golden copy” of its BIOS, if compromised
- Is the industry’s only self-healing BIOS

In cybersecurity, it’s not if you’re going to get compromised—you will get compromised. Millions of viruses are getting released every day. What you don’t know will hurt you.

HP experts Jason O’Keeffe and Vali Ali draw on direct experience with customers to contextualize the threats for a range of business sizes, from mid-market to enterprise, offering salient tips on how to navigate in today’s cybersecurity landscape.

Bottom line: you should treat all endpoints with the same degree of priority—this includes your printers.

ISSA has assembled a panel of experts to discuss insight and make predictions for the 2017 InfoSec challenges. 2016 was a monumental year in cyber security, with major news stories surfacing nearly every month. From email hacking impacting the United States political world to the October DNS attacks and the ongoing rise of Ransomware and IoT concerns, “Cyber” is huge right now. How will this growing spotlight on security translate in terms of media and regulatory attention? And what kinds of threats will dominate the 2017 landscape?

According to a recent survey by the Ponemon Institute, network attached printers are an often overlooked area of IT security. In fact, 62% of the survey respondents indicated they are pessimistic about their ability to prevent the loss of data contained in printer mass storage and/or printed hardcopy documents.
